Sadly, all performances of Drupadi have been cancelled.

A note from the Presidio Theatre:

In keeping with the precedent set by the city of San Francisco and the Presidio Trust, we are canceling our public events until March 21st. We were greatly looking forward to the production of “Drupadi” this weekend and apologize for the inconvenience this causes. However we are hoping to reschedule the performances and will follow up with tickets buyers if new dates are set. In the meantime, you may either request that City Box Office issues you a refund or choose to donate the amount you paid. The donation will go directly to Gamelan Sekar Jaya and ShadowLight Productions, who are both local non-profit organizations creating beautiful and meaningful art. Thank you for your understanding. We wish you all good health and look forward to seeing you at the theatre soon.

In playwright Zara Houshmand’s retelling of the ancient Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, through the eyes of its key female character, Drupadi explores age-old stories through the perspective of the me-too era. Narrated by nationally acclaimed storyteller, Brenda Wong Aoki, and ShadowLight shadow master Larry Reed, and with choreography by Emiko Saraswati Susilo, the entire magically unwinding story will play out on a massive shadow screen. Gamelan Sekar Jaya guest music director, I Dewa Putu Berata, and guest dance director, I Made Suteja, join Gamelan Sekar Jaya’s metallophone gamelan semar pegulingan, a company of dancers, and a complement of ShadowLight artists in this collaborative production at San Francisco’s newest performing arts space: the Presidio Theatre.

This project is made possible in part by a grant from The Creative Work Fund, a program of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund that also is supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
